  • Story Text: With only a few hours to go before the Champions League final between Barcelona and Juventus on Saturday (June 6), it was calm before the storm at the Olympic Stadium.
    This evening, some 74,000 fans will fill the stadium watching the match - the first European Cup or Champions League final to be staged in the German capital.
    The fans who were arriving early were told the match was sold out and that they should not attempt to buy tickets on the black market.
    Throughout the day, hundreds of fans have been enjoying the different fan areas in the city.
    Juventus' supporters gathered in eastern Berlin's Alexanderplatz square, singing, dancing and drinking beer in temperatures of around 30 degrees Celsius.
    Barcelona are seen as the favourites to beat Juventus and lift the Champions League trophy.
    That would make it the fourth time in the last 10 years and the fifth occasion in their history, while Juventus are seeking a first success since 1996.
    The match kicks off at 1845 GMT.
